Verekai in Town

Cirque du Soleil brings its arena show, “Varekai,” to the Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall this week!

Featuring dozens of performers from countries throughout the world, this traveling show features acrobatics, a great musical score and, amazing scenery.

The story takes place in a magical forest, that features fantastical creatures including fairy like creatures.

The event runs through Sunday, and will feature shows tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 7:30, and earlier in the day - 4 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 on Sunday.

Here's a sneak peek at one of the performances that will be featured. Note that the performances are wearing harnesses during their practice, but those will not be on during the performance!
